Former Marine IED expert Antonio Agnone who left the US military because he's gay

I got a chance to interview Antonio this morning at the Take Back America conference here in DC. He was appearing at a press conference launching a new video short by Robert Greenwald about the military's gan ban having fired dozens of Arabic-speaking linguists because they're gay. Antonio wasn't a linguist, but he was in charge of finding and destroying IEDs in Iraq - another crucial job. He left after becoming fed up with the anti-gay policy. Below is my interview with him (I mistakenly captioned him as "Anthony," sorry).



And here is the new video short by Robert Greenwald. It's quite good.
